Learning goals

  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and related division facts.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays and to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and related division facts, developing efficient mental strategies.
  • We are learning to multiply and divide one- and two-digit numbers in word problems using a variety of strategies.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10 and apply this to related division facts.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and related division facts.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
